No correspondents attended the boxing day game at Tannadice, but newspaper reports indicate that the Killie players gave a creditable account of themselves and just about deserved the draw.

The news today is that the police have advised that tomorrow’s match with the “infected snotter” coloured aspect of the two-headed beast of Glasgow should be postponed. Despite the park being perfectly playable, the weather forecast is not good. Roads are expected to be icy, as are the environs of the stadium, and the club have agreed that the safety of spectators is of primary importance.
